We spent New Year's Eve at BMD Northcliffe Surf Club, and it was truly fantastic ! The atmosphere was absolutely electric, creating the perfect backdrop for a memorable celebration. The staff were all incredibly friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be there, which added to the overall positive vibe that this club seems to ooze.

The food was delicious, earning a solid 4 stars. Each dish was well-prepared and flavorful, though there is always room for slight improvement. However, what truly set the evening apart was the breathtaking view of the fireworks from the deck. Watching the sky light up while enjoying a late night drink, and the company of loved ones made for an unforgettable night.

Whether you're looking for a spot to celebrate a special occasion or simply want to enjoy a meal with an amazing view, BMD Northcliffe Surf Club is definitely worth a visit!
We really enjoyed our visit here. The food was excellent and the service was first class. They were VERY busy and there was a mix up with our food order but this was rectified quickly and efficiently.
The perfect spot for lunch and to spend a couple of hours. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.
The only issue was parking. Parking is very difficult to find but we were pre warned and booked an Uber instead.
We attended catered function with E &M Racing.
Excellent environment, food and drinks, can't fault
I’m only giving BMD Northcliff Surf Club 4 stars instead of 3 because I like the place and have for many years.

In this visit though the food let me down….a bit. I have come here on occasion for years and loved it every time but this time not🤷‍♂️

The club is great, the facilities are great and the view is great….i wish I could have given 5 stars though😔

Awesome environment and really enthusiastic crew behind the bar.
An amazing range of beer's etc.
Espresso martini was perfect.
Definitely worth a visit.
I’ve been a regular customer since SPAR opened here, on Sunday I was asked if I had something from the shop in my pocket!!! The staff member said it was the policy to ask.
Never asked before.
Won’t be asked again as I will take my business elsewhere.
Truly disappointing!!!!

Beermash is an incredibly cozy spot, perfect for beer enthusiasts. Their unique concept of 27 steps, 20 of which feature beer, is a fun and creative way to experience a wide variety of flavors. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, making it an ideal place to relax and try something new. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a vibrant and enjoyable beer-tasting experience!
Great little neighborhood market. It is priced like a neighborhood market. Some things are on the expensive side but it's not a giant chain store so it's to be expected however they have good sales and some things, especially Spar brands are priced very well so much so that I have staple items on my food shop list that I will save for when I go to Spar and buy them there. Pleasantly surprised by their food counter and baked goods. One of my most favorite loaves of bread is made there. Go early in the AM of your hunting for bread, it clears out fairly quickly. Great place to grab some snacks and take across the street to Doyal ground and let the kids play.

If you're a craft beer aficionado in Melbourne, Beermash is an absolute must-visit. This unassuming gem in Collingwood is a haven for beer enthusiasts, boasting an impressive selection of both local and international brews.
The moment you step inside, you're greeted by a wall of gleaming taps, each pouring a different craft beer. The rotating selection ensures there's always something new to discover, from hoppy IPAs to rich stouts and everything in between. The knowledgeable staff are always on hand to offer recommendations based on your preferences.
But the magic doesn't stop at the taps. The fridges are overflowing with an incredible range of bottled and canned beers, from rare limited releases to classic favorites. Whether you're a seasoned beer connoisseur or just starting your craft beer journey, you're sure to find something to tantalize your taste buds.
The cozy interior creates a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. It's the perfect place to unwind with a pint, chat with fellow beer lovers, or simply enjoy a quiet moment of solitude.
If you're looking for a top-notch craft beer experience in Melbourne, Beermash is the place to be.
Superb views, excellent value for money, delish food and friendliest staff you’ll encounter. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Had a great experience here! Plenty of beer options and cocktails on tap were great. Great atmosphere too!
They're probably a bit overpriced but it's convenient and it's nice to see younger people working
It’s beautiful, staff friendly and the food is amazing. We went for breakfast, sat outside and I had the best iced chocolate ever!
Prices are ok, not too expensive, and the view is incredible!

If you are into beer, please visit. Varieties of beers, the staffs are friendly, they can guide you through thier selections. Definitely visit this place again.
Very good grocery and general store near my area in North Parramatta. Staff are friendly and very easy to collect my Kmart delivery. You get everything here like Coles or Woolworths. It’s better to support this local business to survive and grow.
Cheers 👍

One of my favourite places to visit for craft beers in Melbourne, always great beers on tap, and in particular during Pint of Origin. Can't go wrong, will keep coming back!

Friendly staff, if you ever need help just let them know. A small bottle shop so not a huge range, but a great selection for the size of the store. Prices are fair.
Friendly staff love the service from maria She's absolutely gorgeous I hope she's single

My fav place to grab a beer or two. They have new flavours always, I really loved their pickle beer. Lovely atmosphere always and the best part you can taste first. Worth your money. It’s the best. They don’t serve food but you can buy chips.

Nice staff, but the store never has what I look for (Don Julio reposado, Licor 43, Jose Cuervo Tradicional are never in stock) I usually just get beer here...
Very big supermarket and their prices are same as major supermarket . Good customer service too
Also best lunch roll, deli is good. Better to to support local shop then major supermarket
It has most products I need if I forgotten any from my weekly grocery trip. Prices are what I expect for convenience. Discounts do appear from time to time.

Small BWS with limited range. Still enough choice to get by, however I find the wine is expensive. Specials are usually good, but there is always a focus on BWS own brands from Pinnacle Wines and other vineyards owned by the Endeavour group.
TERRIBLE CUSTER SERVICE FROM “WILL”

Contacted the store because my order was incomplete
Some to “Will”
His reply to my questions was-
Me- why is my order incomplete?
Will- we don’t have enough stock
Me-why didn’t someone call me? I would’ve chosen an alternative.
Will-I dont know, I’m working at the back today. Surely you’ll get refunded
Me- when will I receive confirmation of a refund?
Will- I don’t know
Me- well can I speak to another staff member?
Will-I’m the only one here
Me-Can I speak to the manager
Will- he’s off today
Me- so you’re the only staff member on duty? And you’re working at the back?
Will- yes
Me- and you don’t know the answer to any of my questions
Will- I don’t

So clearly. Will has no idea what his job is and apparently there’s no one manning the front of the store?

Lazy… terrible service…
I would give Will zero stars if I could!!
Nice and quiet store. The entry is at the back street. Double drive through which is convenient.

Friendly staff, shop is clean and tidy, will definitely return back
I like this supermarket. Has a lot of what you need. Their delicatessen section is great and so is the coffee. And the staff are really great.

Small drive-in wine shop which would be best suited for people who know what to buy before getting out of the car. However because of its small size, there's not much of a selection to choose from. The girl who was attending the store was both helpful and friendly.

The guy working there right now keeps cancelling Uber Eats orders. He did the same yesterday, and it didn’t matter what I ordered.m. So ordered from liquorland instead, but hopefully the manager reads this and looks into it.

Our 5 star genuinely is for the customer service and mainly to one person who’s always being so helpful to us. He’s so genuine! Hopefully you’ll have 2019 Seppelt in stock soon.

This shop is totally different now. Full stocks on the shelves and more choice now. We don’t have to go far to grab wine anymore.

I don't know what's happened to this place, they used to be great but now they have hardly any stock and hardly any range. It never seems to get replenished. Whenever I go in there it just looks pathetic. The service is terrible too, it's like they just don't care. What's going on?

Service below average. Prices pretty high. They don’t answer the phone, but they’re the only place within walking distance.

Lovely layout, especially the spirits section. Friendly staff and reasonably priced. This store is also a Woolworths collection point for online grocery shopping, so you Vann complete all shopping in one quick visit.
Two lanes allow both in car service and browsing.

Nice bottlo. While not big, all bases are covered and has a nice selection of craft / boutique beers. Nice staff.
